Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got appointments, work I have to do
Keeping me so busy all the day through
They're the things that keep me from thinking of you
(Oh, baby, I miss you so, I know I'm never gonna make it)
Oh, I'm so restless, I don't care what I say
And I lose my temper ten times a day
Still, it's even worse when the night's on its way
It's bad, oh, so bad
[Chorus]
Somehow, I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)
I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)
Somehow, I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)
[Instrumental]
No one to turn to, you know how it is
I was not prepared for something like this
Now I see them clearly, the things that I miss
(Oh, baby, I feel so bad, I know I'm never gonna make it)
I got my business to help me through the day
People I must write to, bills I must pay
But everything's so different when night's on its way
It's bad, oh, so bad
[Chorus]
Somehow, I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)
I'd have courage left to fight if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)
How I fear the time when shadows start to fall
Sitting here alone and staring at the wall
Even I could see a light if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)
Somehow, I'd be doing alright if it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)
[Chorus]
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)
If it wasn't for the nights
(If it wasn't for the nights, I think that I could make it)
[Instrumental]
For the nights
(Woo)
[Instrumental]
Hello, everybody
It's almost three years since we played London the last time and it's far too long
It's great to be back, I can tell you that
Thank you
Um, I would like to introduce to you, a good friend of mine
A very good old friend of mine
She's standing right behind me here
It's the blonde one
She's just about to sing "As Good As New"
Written by: Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus
